                         Sir,
                              With reference to your letter Ho.141/1/9, I have the honour
                         to inform you that 1 have received the petition referred to
                          therein, and also the counter petition from the Eaharnah referred
  i
                          to in the last sentence of the letter.
                              1 attach a copy of each for your information, and I enclose
                         copies of my replies. 1 request you will kindly deliver my
                         reply to the first petition to Shaikh Isa or one of the other
                         signatories. 1 have handed to the representatives of the Baharnah
                         signatories of the second petition, my reply to that petition,
                         and also my reply to their own subsidiary petition.
                              1 trust these replies will remove all idea in the minds of
                         both parties that the policy of reform will not be pursued.
                              If the news of these replies is spread 'abroad on the 2yth
                         or 3u,aftor the "Barjora" arrives, and 1 defer my visit to
                         Bahrain until the 3lst or 1st 1 think ali suspicion that my visit
                         is in some way the result of these petitions will be removed.
                                                                          In
